The Golden State Warriors made a move to bolster their frontcourt depth on Monday, agreeing to terms with Marreese Speights to a three-year contract, a person close to the situation told USA TODAY Sports' Sam Amick.

The third year of the deal will be a team option. The person spoke on the condition on anonymity because the deal has yet to be made public.

Speights, 25, most recently played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and has also played for the Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in his five-year NBA career. He averaged 8.3 points and 4.9 rebounds a game during the 2012-13 season.

The signing of Speights comes on the heels of Golden State's blockbuster deal to acquire Andre Iguodala for $48 million over four years. The versatile big man will serve primarily as a backup to power forward David Lee, but could see some time at center either in smaller lineups or if Andrew Bogut is injured.

Speights' presence will give Warriors coach Mark Jackson several options for rotations. Iguodala can play either shooting guard or small forward, while Harrison Barnes can play both forward positions and Speights can switch between power forward and center.
